💙 Happy Father’s Day 💙

Today we celebrate all fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, father figures, and mentors who provide support, guidance, strength, and care to those around them.

Thank you for the many ways you help your families and communities every day — often behind the scenes and without recognition.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Father’s Day spent with family, friends, and loved ones.

National Bullying Prevention Week

Bullying can happen anywhere — in schools, workplaces, sporting clubs, online, and within our communities. This week is a reminder that kindness, respect, and support can make a real difference.

Let’s work together to create safe and inclusive environments where everyone feels valued, heard, and supported.

✔ Speak up against bullying
✔ Support those who may be struggling
✔ Lead by example with kindness and respect

Together, we can help build stronger and safer communities for everyone.

Did you know that almost two thirds of people who die in house fires have a disability?
On average, 18 people die in preventable residential house fires in Victoria every year.
CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria have an online learning module to support at risk people with planning for fire emergencies at home.
Prevent, Detect, Escape – Home Fire Safety for people at higher risk is made for people at increased fire risk, and for people who support or care for them. www.cfa.vic.gov.au/atrisk
